We spent the day at Mike's aunt and uncle's outside of Soldier's Grove. They live in a beautiful area and as if their house wasn't already cool enough, they bought their neighbor's log "cabin." Okay, to be honest, to call this place a cabin is an insult. It is made of logs so I guess that it could technically be classified as a cabin. But it is enormous. It is beautiful. The upstairs bathroom is ridiculous. I want it. Did I take any pictures of my amazingly beautiful future home? Of course I didn't.
We spent the morning sledding, skiing, and playing with Mike's little cousins and the afternoon eating vast quantities of food (as is proper at a holiday party) and watching the little ones play Wii. It was altogether a fun day. As a dangerous amount of freezing rain is forecast for tonight we had to leave earlier than we wanted to, but Mike's uncle has suggested we have a "grown up" sledding party on the BIG hill. Hurrah.
